    Great tacos! The lunch buffet is one to enjoy. Get here early, the line is sometimes long, but the food is always worth the wait. Service is excellent, friendly family run restaurant.

    This place has been around for decades. I remember coming here when I was a kid. I'm sure Chuy still has my picture around there somewhere. Always friendly & courteous staff. The food has always been good & when we have people come in from out of town that used to live in KCK, one of the first places they want to eat is Jalisco's. That should tell you something right there. Chuy has been doing something right for a very long time!

    This is where I temporarily reside. Excellent buffet however I sure would love for Gordon Ramsey on show called "Hells Kitchen" to do an updated makeover and menu advertising to increase business. How about a Billboard sign on I-435 or and I-635

    Many people in my family have been going to Jalisco's since it was in Argentine and I was a kid. For the last few years, I have ordered food for Christmas Eve and when we've received our order, it has not been enough. This year I ordered 5 dozen tacos, 4 dozen cheese enchiladas, 4 dozen tamales and a pan if beans. When I ordered, I asked them to make sure we would receive enough meat for 60 tacos. But, when I got my order, there were only 48 taco shells, many broken, not nearly enough taco meat and36 enchiladas. Not sure why this has happened twice in a row. Then, when I called, the owner, Fifi, was so rude. She acted like I was trying to get free food which is ridiculous. She basically said she did not care if she lost a good customer and we definitely do not live in a world where you want to lose customers. Never again. I would never recommend Jalisco's to anyone and especially if you need food for a big party The food is good, but the customer service is downright awful.

    Sad, this is no longer a buffet. Really looked forward to a good Mexican buffet - denied. Had chicken chimi, since this is the only choice, chicken tasted like it was from a can. Fried potatoes are no longer an option. Server was good.

    Mediocre food, dated interior, prices were OK. Tex Mex food smothered as you would expect.

  • 4/5 Tim B. 11 months ago on Google
    Love Chips and Salsa but not here even with salt and salsa is bland. Stale and not warm. Asked for cheese sauce then had to explain. Waitress was super nice but overworked. Enchiladas were small. Gave it a try, won't go back. 4 Stars to the overworked waitress

    I ordered a couple weeks ago 24 pork & bean burritos & 1 dozens tamales & 1 chicken burrito ask for Meted cheese on top of the burritos & of course I didn't check my order till I got home (""NO CHEESE ON ANY OF THE BURRITOS "") I got 24 burritos-at least $1 for the cheese that was supposed to be on them..if there a next time I go there I will (definitely) check my order before I leave..

    It's a homey place and they have their regulars because as i sat there waiting for my food they would greet people by name. I gave it low marking because I personally didn't like the food it was bla the sancho I ordered look like they just put slices of cheese on top of it and melted it and I got chips with the salsa the chips weren't fresh or even full or even half bag full. I was just disappointed with the quality of it for the price i paid.

    I have disabilities and neglected to bring my wheelchair or walker. The waitress was so kind and accommodating. I also really enjoyed the tamales.

  • 5/5 Jacquelyn G. 1 year ago on Google
    I frequently stop by to purchase the hot tamales. They are always fresh, hot and delicious. The wait staff is very helpful and friendly. On occasion, I've eaten their other dishes and the taste and quality is always exceptional.

    AUTHENTIC DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD REASONABLY PRICED! GREAT SERVICE! CLEAN! FREINDLY! GENUINE! BEST CHIPS AND SALSA IN TOWN! Opening their doors in 1965, same family has owned and ran this restaurant. 1965!! Same chefs for over 20 years. Same waitress for over 15 years. That is un heard of in the restaurant business. It speaks to the integrity and character of the owner, Chuy and his family, and how he conducts his business. Growing up in The Dotte I have been coming here my whole life . The food is still just as good if not better than when i was little. CHEAPEST PRICES IN TOWN AND HUGE PORTIONS!!!

    The food tasted like it was pre-packaged food, the waitress didn't want to be bothered with work, even turning guests away 45 minutes before they closed. We felt like we were imposing by being there to eat.
